Ukraine itself is a little stuck though. NATO wants this war to keep going as a way to further encircle Russia. Military expenditures are up. So Ukraine can't stop because they're a NATO puppet at this point.

And even if Zelenskyy offered to cede territory he'd get assassinated by one of the Ukrainian Nazi groups and there'd be a subsequent coup. It's just a huge pointless mess.

Any economically poor country needs to learn that the USA and NATO will just use them. We only give actual freedom to other empires.

The point is to cash out using your own country

I wonder if Zelenskyyy could defect to Russia lmao, seems like they'd take anybody

Yeah something like that would be pouring jet fuel onto Ukraine's Nazis. They'd be organizing around the idea of the Jewish backstabber Zelenskyy for decades.

I can only imagine those fascist scum barely tolerate him to begin with

Modern Nazis are way better about optics, so they know him simply being in charge gives them the ability to say "but see our leader is Jewish, we can't Nazis!" and western dipshits will nod in agreement.
